    HELP! Omlet automatic coop door problem

    To fix the wire fault, I lock and unlock the screen. I have read that it is mostly common when you keep the screen locked all the time. I keep mine unlocked but still get the error sometimes. So try to lock it, wait a minute, then unlock again, and do a manual open/close. Hopefully that will...

    HELP! Omlet automatic coop door problem

    I purchased the automatic door from omlet and attached to my existing wooden coop. I've had it for about a year now. I get the occasional "wiring fault" error but it is rare and I have figured out how to fix that little "bug" in the system. About 3 days ago my auto door stopped closing at...

    Sour crop or something else?

    Hey everyone! So I am trying to figure out if my chicken has sour crop or if something else is going on. It's been about a week now. She seemed perfectly fine one day, and acting sickly the next. As soon as I noticed her acting "off" I picked her up and she felt very skinny. Her crop was full at...

    Raccoon problem...Help with roof for dog run

    I've got a temporary enclosure I can put them in for added security until the weekend when I can work on a new roof. I work all day, and it's already dark outside when I get home now. I've got enough hardware cloth I think I can brace it and cover the top.

    Raccoon problem...Help with roof for dog run

    This is an old photo, but not much has changed. There's just a mesh cover over the top so he is slipping right thru.

    Raccoon problem...Help with roof for dog run

    Hey BYC family! So I've been using a 10x10 dog kennel for my coop for a couple of yrs now. Works great for my girls. I have a roof over the top to keep them dry, protected from hawks, etc. Problem is, I have a trash panda (raccoon) getting in thru the top and bothering my sweethearts. He injured...

    Integrating the big scaredy chickens

    Yes, I do implement the "panic room" method. They just seem so terrified to even exit. I know they are probably content and it's just me that thinks they are miserable in cramped quarters, Haha! But I may try leaving their entrance open and just keep an eye on them for the afternoon. And see if...

    Integrating the big scaredy chickens

    So I've introduced younger pullets into my flock every year with no real issues. No major bullying. I've been fortunate! This year, I only raised 4 sweethearts and I decided to raise them outside with the big girls. They have had their own quarantined section within the coop/run. I was expecting...

    Heat plate outside?

    Yes! This is why I'm so excited to have them outside. I want them to have the freedom to play and learn their surroundings. And the overall easier transition with the adults.

    Automatic water suggestions?

    Hi everyone! Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions! I currently have a 5 gallon bucket water system I use for my flock, but I refill it frequently especially as summer rolls around.

    Does anyone own a toyota prius c?

    Hey guys! I trust everyone in here with info on my sweet chickens, so I figured why not ask about other important things? I am considering the purchase of a 2013 toyota Prius C. I have quite a commute to work and am looking for great gas mileage and reliability. Does anyone have wisdom on this...
